Middle managers are the liaisons between their employees and library administrators. Managers can feel caught in the middle as they listen to and serve both sides. Successfully working with the administration while fostering a rapport with direct reports is a crucial driver of success. Managers will gain a foundation to successfully manage from the middle by formulating strategies to build relationships, establish workplace balance, gain senior management’s confidence, and avoid common mistakes.
Learning objectives for this session may include:
- Formulating strategies to build relationships and establish workplace balance
